I somehow doubt that! My Dad once had a 1977 E12 518 automatic. It had 90 bhp, felt like it weighed as much as a Tiger tank and could hardly drag itself down the road. If you clogged it from a standstill in 'D' it would do nothing for about a second before lumbering off at walking pace, which made roundabouts rather worrying.

Sounds suspiciously like the 1995 316i auto my mate bought while in Guernsey. I was volunteered for the test drive, and it was even slower than my dad's 1990 Cavalier 1.8 auto. Both cars made my Mk1 Fezza 1.1 - the slowest car I have owned thus far - feel like an F40. The Beemer also had the worrying habit of revving like crazy for a couple of seconds when kicked down - before continuing at a slightly less slothful pace.Ultimate Driving Machine my arse - paint it white and fill it with semi-skimmed, more like Ultimate Driving Milkfloat, performance-wise.

Haha, slow BMW's are just the wrong-ness. I had a 316 E30 for a bit, with a shitty pierburg carb on it. Christ was it a sack of turd. Absolutely no 'go' in it whatsoever. You'd get outdragged by fully laden lorries joining the motorway.

yes a C35, Big old bus, I was given a Kombi van one free by my old company a couple of years back, It's still sat in a field in the Ardeche to this day as far as i am aware, was on british plates too..

Well I'm 100% sure it ain't no Samba, it looks earlier (this is sad, but the Samba rear lights although the same design, were smooth, whereas I can see those ones are ribbed! ) . It's either an early LNA or a 104 3 door. The LN had smaller rear lights so it can't be one of them. Therefore on that fact alone I'm going to say that it's most likely a 104 3 door rather than an LNA. The white strip across the boot above the lights is making me lean towards LNA but I'll stick with the 104 cos I could be here all day! We'd have to see the front to know for certain!

'Thing' between R8 and Floride/Caravelle looks like an R8S (quad headlights - probably not a G left like that!) with some white R8 doors leaning up against the front and a Floride/Caravelle removable top placed over the bonnet/windscreen/roof.

Oh yes - you've got a very keen eye!I can place it all now. I was wondering why it had a curved roof!
